I have to wonder if the Queen, Charles, and William were happy about her unannounced visit. With everything going on and given that recent tit-for-tat escalation that went on this past weekend in the UK papers, I wonder how well her “unannounced” visit was received by other royals in charge.
It looks to me like she is trying to reassert her image–and merching–with that visit. Am wondering if she went to this discussion against the wishes of senior advisers because the focus should have been more on Will & Kate’s visits to the military & their families. Kind of wondering if we’re now going to see another release of stuff this weekend on Megs.
I think she spends too much and has a ravenous materialism that no amount of money can satisfy, unless she marries a billionaire, which Harry is most definitely not.
The royal family does not merch. And even if they did, the IRS would likely not see evidence of it. The IRS is only concerned with Meghan’s tax returns. They are never going to see information for William, Catherine, Andrew, etc.
That would actually make a lot of sense. Would add up to why she’s allowed to do all this stuff now when it hasn’t been done that much before in previous royal wives but at the same time Meghan’s not a planner, so I can’t see her planning this far ahead with anything especially with all the drama she had leading up to the wedding.
“Meghan wearing the dress with a thigh high slit up the side while 3 months (?) pregnant in Australia was just weird and inappropriate.“ – Submitted by Anonymous
They may be loaners, but I think that most fashion houses would accept some tailoring in return for their merchandise looking better in photographs. See the Ireland tour for examples. Either that or they are sending her the wrong size.
Noooooo. The halter is her bra!!!!! I just saw a side picture and it looks like some lacy number. We are seeing her bra strap! WtheactualF?!
Yup. It’s kind of bizarre. She’s 37, pregnant, not wearing a coat, and decides she needs to have visible bra straps on top of wearing a strapless top in the middle of NOVEMBER. Clearly she’s not worried about getting sick, even though pregnancy compromises the immune system.
She must have thought that the bra straps accentuated her look. It doesn’t. At. All.
MEGHAN MARKLE’S TAX SITUATION TAROT READING – NOVEMBER 18TH, 2018
There’s been some articles floating around for some time now about Meghan’s taxes and possible mess regarding them so I want to see what’s happening with them right now and what the future may hold regarding them. Send in feedback, requests, and your opinion on this reading as always to my ask. See ya soon. – TT
“What’s going on with Meghan’s taxes right now?”
(Star Rx; Two of Pentacles Rx; Eight of Cups Rx; Ace of Pentacles Rx; Lovers; Ten of Cups Rx; Three of Swords; Page of Swords Rx; Ten of Wands Rx; Six of Wands Rx)
Meghan’s finances are really all over the place (Two of Pentacles Rx) and a mess right now.
She went into this marriage (Lovers) with no plan (Two of Pentacles Rx) (are we shocked about that though)and expected to reimbursed with money/endorsement deals and thought her marriage was gonna be a better start/investment for her on the money front, but that turned out to be wrong (Ace of Pentacles Rx). She thought she could handle it all and make it work because Harry was gonna help her out a lot and these type of things would already be taken care of (Lovers/Two of Pentacles Rx) but she can’t really handle it.
She expected to be the star (Star Rx) and had a lot of hope and faith that this relationship would cover everything and took a leap of faith that this would work out with Harry (Star Rx/Lovers) and it’s like her dreams and wishes for that are falling apart (Star Rx). For some odd reason she really did feel like it was the right time to marry Harry and vice-versa (Lovers) which is crazy since they are suffering all the repercussions of being so hasty like that (Page of Swords Rx/Ten of Cups Rx).
She definitely has some contract(s) for money, probably secret endorsement deals or something like that to help make her some money (Ace of Pentacles Rx/Lovers). I’d say with an air sign person most likely (Lovers/Star Rx).
Her relationship as expected with the RF is rocky because of this mess (Ten of Cups Rx). They don’t like how she can’t stay in budget and stick with the plan (Two of Pentacles Rx) and how reckless she spends money. They also don’t like how much mess that have to clean up and deal with financially in the first place (Two of Pentacles Rx/Ten of Cups Rx). Meghan’s becoming more and more isolated and disconnected from the family because of all the drama she brings (Star Rx/Ten of Cups Rx). Her relationship is getting worse and worse with the family (Ten of Cups Rx).
It’s weird you guys.
She doesn’t like losing money (Ace of Pentacles Rx) because having to be on budget and wear more cheaper brands is making her feel more insecure (Star Rx). She feels like being attached to luxury brands (Lovers) and spending all that money gives her a star-like quality or power she craves and by doing this she is losing her fame/star-power (Star Rx). Like she craves spending all the much to feel like she belongs and she fits in (Lovers), like she’s the star and it makes her feel confident in her role as a duchess which she otherwise wouldn’t have (Star Rx).
She’s losing faith that this will work out for her (Star Rx/Ten of Cups Rx). She really wants to leave and just drop everything and have a new start but she literally can’t go anywhere (Eight of Cups Rx). Like she’s stuck with nowhere to turn.
She knows it’s the best option to walk away and drop it all and leave this sitution but she can’t go anywhere even though she wants to (Eight of Cups Rx) and it’s stressing her all the way out (Page of Swords Rx). The family is also losing faith that she will fix her inappropriate behavior and get back in line (Star Rx/Ten of Cups Rx).
She’s literally crying and up at night, pacing trying to figure how to deal with it (Page of Swords Rx/Three of Swords). She’s so hurt and feels like she’s losing the battle (Six of Wands Rx/Three of Swords/Star Rx).
I think Harry might have been in her ear (pre-wedding) and told her he would support her and take care of her (Lovers) and they would handle it together sort of thing (Two of Pentacles Rx) and that turned out sour and didn’t happen the way it was said to her before (Star Rx/Page of Swords Rx).
Harry and Meghan are having lots of arguments about it (Ten of Cups Rx/Page of Swords Rx). She feels hurt and lied to by Harry (Page of Swords Rx) because he told her all these things that everything would be alright and got her hopes up just for things to end up not panning out that way (Page of Swords Rx/Star Rx/Ten of Cups Rx). Harry feels like she’s putting material goals over the family and the pregnancy and doesn’t like that (Two of Pentacles Rx/Ten of Cups Rx).
She doesn’t like the fact that she’s being sat down and forced to deal with everything (Three of Swords).
What’s also getting to Meghan is the fact that the press is being so ruthless and all up in her business about it and there’s nothing she can do about it (Page of Swords Rx/Three of Swords/Eight of Cups Rx). Meghan’s anxious about what might possibly get revealed about her money situation due to how the press is about her life (Page of Swords Rx) and is also worried about how the family will react (Ten of Cups Rx).
She’s holding this heavy burden trying to fix these issues and wants this to pass and go away (Ten of Wands Rx). Meghan’s trying to convince herslef she can fight it but is losing hope that she can and is ready to give up (Ten of Wands Rx).
More bad articles to come out surrounding it though (Six of Wands Rx) butI don’t think it will stick for very long regarding press. Regarding finances short and long term, this will have an effect though.
She’s going to feel more insecure as a result of this and probably lose some battles and win some legally (Six of Wands Rx). Reality of the situation will start to hit soon (Six of Wands Rx).
Don’t know if she comes out all the way victorious in the end and I’mma stick to that (Six of Wands Rx).
(Three of Wands Rx, Page of Wands Rx, Ace of Wands Rx)
I really see her being restricted, at least until the baby comes (Three of Wands Rx/Page of Wands Rx/Ace of Wands Rx). I think Meghan had some plans to travel and maybe even go on another tour before she gave birth but I don’t see that happening (Page of Wands Rx). Or at least plans are being re-considered right now if so.
It’s almost as if the lawyers and RF aides told her, “until this mess is sorted out, you ain’t going nowhere honey”. I know I’m making a joke out of it but I’m being serious. It’s like she’s been put on lockdown from going anywhere outside of the UK until this mess is cleared up (Page of Wands Rx/Three of Wands Rx – the travel and adventure cards). They have to be really strategic about where she travels now because it might bring them more financial issues/risks (Ace of Wands Rx).
(Ace of Swords Rx, Five of Swords Rx, Ten of Pentacles)
(Eight of Wands Rx, Four of Swords Rx,
(Page of Cups, Queen of Wands Rx (Meghan), Wheel of Fortune)
The RF lawyers are trying to work out negotiations and peace settlements and work with the tax agency to fix these issues (Five of Swords Rx/Ten of Pentacles). But the RF is still holding resentment and hostility to her about the mess she created (Ace of Swords Rx/Five of Swords Rx).
There’s a lot that’s just unknown about her financial sitution and a lot of loopholes I’m guessing the lawyers didn’t expect to be sealed or opened, whichever one (Ace of Swords Rx). The IRS doesn’t really know much about the RF’s finances and this is a way they can possibly find out hidden corrupt money behavior which is why the RF are putting her on lockdown (Five of Swords Rx/Ace of Swords Rx). They want their finances to be as private as they always have been. The RF have also sent a warning to Meghan that if this continues to happen, there will be repercussions (Ace of Swords Rx/Five of Swords Rx/Ten of Pentacles).
Things are gonna get so messy and crazy (Eight of Wands Rx) that it’s gonna take a while for Meghan to come up with the money and earn profit back again (Page of Pentacles/Four of Swords Rx). Meghan has LOTS AND LOTS of unfinished business whether that’s endorsement deals or just contracts that she made probably with things like house loans and such that are making it harder for her to relax and not worry about how she is going to gain more money after being restricted due to the IRS peeping on them (Eight of Wands Rx/Four of Swords Rx/Page of Pentacles).
A 3rd party will probably have to intervene to provide some stability (Eight of Wands Rx/Page of Pentacles).
Meghan’s hoping this pregnancy will get them off her back (Page of Cups/Wheel). Again, hormones are making her a douchebag (QOW Rx) so the quicker this goes away the stabler Meghan will be.
She’s gonna get very demanding with the lawyers, sort of shouting at them like, “isn’t this your job, why haven’t you’ve been able to fix it” (QOW Rx/Page of Cups).
She’s hoping because she’s pregnant (Page of Cups) that they’ll (the press) be nicer to her and things will turn around into more postive coverage (Wheel).
(Knight of Pentacles Rx, Four of Cups Rx, Chariot Rx, Two of Wands Rx, Fool, Six of Cups)
Harry (KnoP Rx), is tired of also having to wait and be stuck all the time. He’s ready to go out and be active and do stuff (Four of Cups Rx). He’s tired of being held back and having all these restrictions and problems all the time (Chariot Rx/Two of Wands Rx). Harry gets depressed when he has to deal with all this mess and each scandal just adds more and more weight to his shoulders and brings him into a more deeper depression (Chariot Rx). He wants things to go back to old times, same as Meghan (Six of Cups), back in the summer where he could do whatever and wasn’t so restricted and controlled (Fool). He also wants things more focused on the pregnancy and not Meghan’s personal problems (Six of Cups/Fool).
Well maybe you should have thought about that before you guys got married so quickly, but what do I know..
(Hermit Rx, Six of Pentacles Rx, Seven of Swords Rx)
I think she will get away with a lot of stuff still (Seven of Swords Rx). Like I mentioned before some wins and some losses (Six of Pentacles Rx). Seems like some money scam is done (Six of Pentacles Rx) that gets her out of too deep of hot water (Seven of Swords Rx). She will still get caught with something though (Seven of Swords Rx) and this process will cause her to have to come clean about the stuff she did and put everything on the table that she didn’t beforehand (Seven of Swords Rx). They’ll still end up not satisfied in the end because they’ll be in some sort of debt (Six of Pentacles Rx) and will have a hard time earning that monry they lost back (Hermit Rx). It’s almost like Harry holds out his hand gives the money and is just like “leave us alone now” (Hermit Rx/Six of Pentacles Rx).
That’s what I got for this reading. Hope you enjoyed. See ya soon. – TT
The thing is that no one knows exactly what Megs tax situation is. The Daily Mail posts a click-baity article on her tax situation and then people start assuming that she is avoiding paying taxes. No one knows if that is true. People are running with the assumption that merching = not paying taxes. And no one really knows if that is actually true or not. Megs may have been raised to believe that the IRS has more power than God, and perhaps she always pays her taxes due to that.
But instead we have articles that point out the new financial territory the BRF is in because Harry married her, and then people go apeshit assuming she’s going to go to jail for tax fraud and avoidance. Sorry. It’s just not true, and no one can prove otherwise.
I don’t understand why people assume that Meg’s merching equals not paying taxes. People really need to re-think why they have come to such conclusions. Merching and tax paying are not mutually exclusive concepts. She merched before she married Harry, yes, but that does not mean she didn’t pay her taxes.
Also, why are people assuming she’ll be audited? There are more than 300+ million people in the US. The IRS only has a certain number of employees, let alone auditors. Getting audited is statistically unlikely, particularly when you consider all the budget cuts the IRS has been subjected to recently.
Just because you commit tax fraud does not mean you will automatically get audited. I knew a guy who was his church’s webmaster for their website. You cannot declare a charitable donation for volunteering your time. Guess what he did? He claimed he “donated” webpages and used the value of each webpage as a charitable donation. He claimed thousands of dollars for “webpages” as a charitable donation for multiple years. It was all fraudulent. He did this for more than five years and was not audited. And he was never audited by the IRS as far as I know.
Just because you aren’t completely honest with the IRS, does not mean they are instantly going to come after you when they can’t verify the information. There is a very slim chance that Megs will be audited by the IRS. Even if she is, likely no one will ever know about it. As long as she is a member of the BRF, they will make sure she pays her taxes because they do not want to risk a headline that an HRH is not paying their share of taxes.
There are some things mentioned in that tax article such as having to pay taxes on her engagement ring that are kind of sketchy. I really don’t believe she’ll ever have to pay taxes on her engagement ring even if it is “from a foreign person.” It’s a normal gift.
Some of the other things are harder to prove such as the clothing. If she got a “freebie” regarding her designer clothing but returned it after it was publicly worn, then that would also be harder to claim as income. The IRS isn’t going to pop over to Kensington Palace and verify what is and isn’t in Meg’s closet.
Yes, the article does a good job in pointing out that all of her income poses problems to the royal family, BUT the IRS doesn’t have any legal authority to audit in the UK. So, everything is harder to prove.
Usually as long as you file and your return doesn’t look unreasonable, the IRS isn’t going to come after you. The IRS is greatly understaffed right now. They’re not going to go after Meghan just because the Daily Mail published an article.
Anyone hoping for “receipts” regarding her taxes is going to be disappointed since the IRS always does things privately. IRS doesn’t leak things to the press. Articles arguing the theoretical, like this one, will be all you see.
“Meghan’s outfits on her recent tour was allegedly about 100,000 $. That may seem unnecessary but you never know if some, if the majority were only borrowed and not actually purchased.” – Submitted by Anonymous
Come on, anon. Borrowed would actually be even worse. Royals aren’t supposed to be taking favors from companies.
2nd day in a row that Meghan’s Mirror hasn’t posted about what Rachel was wearing. Me thinks her source (rachel) cut her off. At least for now. Gotta keep up appearances.
The staff knows where all the bodies are buried. They HAVE to keep them happy. Meghan has done a lot of stupid things, but abusing an employee who has gold-plated media contacts and ALL THE MERCHING RECEIPTS is probably the stupidest thing she has ever done.
I think having a biracial family member does give them additional credibility with minorities. It’s just not as huge a benefit as they expected, partly because Harry and Meghan are doing a stellar job at promoting themselves and their “bump” and an absolutely crap job at promoting the family and its interests. The scholarships were barely mentioned, the Commonwealth canopy was an afterthought, The Queen wasn’t even mentioned in the official suffrage anniversary congratulations, and Charles was a footnote with regards to the environmental stuff. It was all MEMEMEMEMEME.
Pt 2 You doubt this? Meghan’s Mirror the site owners said they had a “feeling” she was seeing Harry and opened the site just as the affair was outed. In reality the site owner is a friend of Jessica Mulroney. Meghan BFF. The site owner admitted this in an interview. Meghan gets a percentage of sales. They had announced a new venture several months ago and the new venture turned out to be voila! maternity clothes and baby goods! They knew several months ago. Wake up!
The “leaking” is regarding other information about the family to the press.
Her merching ploys are a different issue altogether.
Isn’t that something. Accepting gifts and wearing them.
The jeweler, who set up her business just three years ago, had sent Meghan a pair of yellow gold and white topaz teardrop-shaped pieces as an engagement gift last November.
Meghan’s £118K royal tour wardrobe! How designer labels and bespoke clothing to accommodate her bump pushed the Duchess’ 41 outfits beyond the value of what Kate wears in a YEAR
Meghan’s 16-day royal tour is finally coming to an end, 41 outfit changes later
Has sported high end labels such as Jason Wu, Givenchy and Brandon Maxwell
Many items have been adjusted or made specially because of her pregnancy
The value of Meghan’s tour wardrobe exceeds Kate’s new outfits for 2017
the value of her wardrobe including jewelry for the tour was almost what Kate spends in a year doing several tours. The arguement she is building a wardrobe is nonsense. Kate spent about 50K her first year of marriage and has never exceeded 150K since then. In one year Meghan is close to spending what Kate has spent for her entire marriage. Marie Antoinette.
I feel like Marie Antoinette had better taste with her clothes and better grooming though…
Oh I dont doudt royals receive freebies. The point that was highlighted was the agent part. The only other royal I’ve heard of having an agent or seperate PR from the palace was Mary of Denmark.
MM is a copy of What Kate Wore and the other Kate fashion blogs. The owner also runs a Kate blog and she had interviewed Meghan as part of a blog business meet up or something like that. There’s a screenshot of an FB post she posted about it two or three years ago (sorry, I don’t have it, but maybe one of the other blogs does). As soon as the relationship with PH came out they “had a feeling that it was serious” and poured money into a new blog. Meghan had a “meeting with lawyers” around that time. Make of that what you will.
Everyone thinks they get their info from Jess. They are now saying that they get their info from Hello! Canada and I don’t think they realize that everyone knows that’s Jess. No one knows what the deal really is. It’s ridiculous and pitiful, but it is what it is.
KP has repeatedly said that they do not accept freebies or loaners. People have long suspected that they do get discounts. As far as I can tell, there is no law or rule applying to this. It seems to be just “protocol.” That likely means that Meghan and Harry are paying as much attention to it as they pay to the other “protocols.”
I used to get really excited about the merching, but now I’m all “LOLOL, nothing matters.” They did a car ad on their wedding day! Harry’s merching Givenchy and Club Monaco!! Their entire freaking existence is a big Soho House sponsorship!!!!!!!
These two tacky sunglasses-selling famewhoring rent-a-royals aren’t going to be reprimanded by anyone. All we can do is sit back, enjoy the show, and wait for the inevitable taxpayer-funded Transitions lenses ad to appear.

Tonga: Arriving at Fua’amotu Airport, Nuku’alofa
Meghan, 37, battled the elements as she and Harry disembarked the private jet at Fua’amotu Airport on Thursday in a £345 Self Portrait dress, teamed with Manolo Blahnik pumps. There was further embarrassment for the duchess as eagle-eyed royal watchers noticed the price tag was still hanging off her designer frock
Tonga: Evening reception at the Royal Palace, Nuku’alofa

PR anon again. She used the wedding the same way. Givenchy paid for the pr. Givenchy got millions in free advertising. The question is why is the BRF cooperating with her? They know. Did stupid Harry think he had a real possibility here and forced it? Probably. He is sure learning a lesson. Everything she does is scripted. And it is all for money. I am dubious on the pregnancy. We’ll see.
oh and (pr anon) she ’ll cancel events for drama. She can’t cancel much cause she has to display the garbage she is paid to wear. I’d bet there won’t be anymore cancellations. Don’t get distracted. The real show is her money making scam. And how the RF handles her. They will take a passive low risk approach they have all along. First wait for Harry to see his error. Second let her reveal what she is. Self destruct.
This is the kind of thing you do when you’re extremely desperate for attention. Her fans think this shit is cute, but she has no other way to tell people how far along she is and that makes it pathetic.
Day 5: casual outfit alone is a few thousand, add the two designer dresses, hat, shoes, bag but don’t forget the earrings: at full price, we’re already at what £40k?
Her earrings today are C$22,000 full price (now 50% sale)
